Geoff:
This does in fact raise a question in my mind. Where do prophecies come
from? Why are they sent?

In Christian and Jewish terms, prophecies are sent to believers. There are
numerous examples in the Bible. But in the Wizarding World?

The fact that Dumbledore heard the first and Harry the second almost
suggests that they are sent to the "good" side to warn them and that
characters like Voldemort only get hold of them because they hear
second-hand that they have been revealed.

What do the rest of you guys out there think?

I prophesy that this might start a new thread.
:-)

Tiffany:
Actually, own of my greatest fears for the seventh book is that Voldemort
will get hold of Trelawney and figure out that she only prophesies drunk, so
he'll feed her on cooking sherry and keep her locked up where only he can
hear her, kind of like a human sized bird cage.
